Mark International Women's Day this year for WHFS (Women's Health & Family Services) because we need to STOP FGM and support affected women

Story

WHFS works to end Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and support women
affected by this harmful and illegal practice.

WHFS
is pressing for more preventative awareness programmes,
to stop the dangerous practice of FGM, and for the development of specialist
services to support women already affected.

Marking International Women’s Day by raising funds for WHFS
will help to:

Support the costs of a dedicated FGM
Project Co-ordinator.Recruit local women volunteers who
have already been affected by FGM.Train the volunteers to become FGM
Peer Supporters.Enable Peer Supporters to engage the
community in preventative awareness and offer advice and support to women
already affected by FGM.Continue WHFS’s vital campaigning
role as a grass-roots organisation, able to voice the issues of, and engage
with, local FGM affected communities.
